HMS1 Ref. 1LCAP.S10A.C110A

The Royal Collection from Arnold & Son consciously
references the magnificent timepieces made by John Arnold in his
fledgling years as a watchmaker for King George III and members of
the monarch's court. The timepieces were distinguished by their
elaborate decoration, intricate workmanship and ingenious
mechanical sophistication. To complement the collection, Arnold
& Son is proud to unveil two beautiful new models that sit
firmly within the inimitable English watchmaking tradition.

Both of the new timepieces feature gorgeous, silvery-white
guilloché dials in two distinct patterns. These combine with the
indices, starkly three-dimensional hands, and recessed subdial to
create a spectacular illusion of depth that is in sharp contrast to
the ultra-slim case. Housed inside the case is an in-house
A&S1001 nickel silver movement, just 2.7 mm in height and
decorated with Côtes de Genève rayonnantes - a particularly apt
choice of ornamentation because the iridescent reflections mirror
those of the dial. The rhodium treated calibre is meticulously
fashioned, featuring Haute Horlogerie finishing and manually
chamfered bridges with polished edges as well as blued screws and
fine circular graining. Secured by a brown or black alligator
strap, the two new HMS1 references are available in 18-carat rose
gold and 18-carat white gold, and are also available with a
diamond-set bezel.

All timepieces in the HMS1 line feature a classically styled 40
mm case in white gold, rose gold or stainless steel, with a
see-through back cover and water-resistance to 30 metres. The
hand-wound movements have double barrels that generate a power
reserve of over 90 hours with more constant force and hence greater
accuracy throughout the watch's run time. The line is available in
a range of dial colours and with various finishes, depending on the
model.
